The Industry Advisory Board (IAB) was invited to judge and review Senior Projects for the Electrical and Computer Engineering program at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown (UPJ). Sam Morello, P.E., Principal Engineer of ARM CAMCO and ARM EnerTech and IAB member, proudly supports the creative process and original senior projects as one of many ways for upcoming graduates to prepare to function as professionals in their chosen fields.
This year’s top project was the LasIR Harp, a digital system using IR sensors to emulate the music of a harp. It provides people with physical limitations a way to make music as it doesn’t require dexterity in the hands, but only the ability to interrupt the path of a laser.
Not only have ARM CAMCO and ARM EnerTech hired numerous UPJ alumni over the years to add to their business families, Sam’s daughter Samantha is also an IAB member and UPJ alumni, who is employed by Mitsubishi Electric Power Products (MEPPI).
